Re: Users recently woke up after eXch Anti-Phishing Campaign Launch
I don't understand why notildah has to beef with bencodie so often. It's starting to become the new staple of forum relationships haha. 
I'm personally eager to see how this gets handled by eXch. It's useful to spot which accounts are following some suspicious patterns like waking up from inactivity or being alts.
But ultimately only eXch have access to the emails for reporting the domains and only they could decide how to distribute their own money. The fact that the campaign is so simple obviously attracted many such cases but ok I'm not putting this on eXch. I commented about this before and I think got misunderstood, I should have said maybe it wasn't anticipated to be faced with so much spam and dubious claims. But in the end of the day two domains are already down so if it works it works.
It seems to me quite possible that not all those who sent the report to the registers will necessarily be paid. The eXch team certainly has insight into all sent reports, I wouldn't be surprised if some of them are incomplete and, as you say, just plain spam.

For now, eXch has full control over this campaign, there is no reason for additional concern.
